2018 Poetry Prize Winner:

“Elegy as Conditionality: Hornets Building” by Jan Verberkmoes

Gabrielle Calvocoressi says about the winning piece: “I love how I fall immediately into the act of making (and unmaking) in the poem ‘Elegy as Conditionality.’ There’s such a lovely fracturing of the line and a sense that anything could be about to happen. How all that breakage can happen in a poem that still feels expertly wrought is a real lesson to me. I’d like to see more work by this poet. For sure.”
